Stats

  • it's orbit is approximately 237 million km from it's star

  • a density of 5.3 and a gravity of 0.84 G's
  • a dense atmosphere of 1.21 with nitrogen 63%, carbon oxides 22%, oxygen 13% and other gas's 2%
  • an axial tilt 8% but with a slight wobble
  • daytime temperatures are on average between 9C and 17C, while the night time temperatures can drop to -19C to -28C

  • with a year of 382 days, each day 27.2 hours long
  • primary terrain features are dirt and rock
  • violent wind storms and massive electric storms stike with little warning

Resources

  • unknown at this time, as the only known survey was conducted by the Romulans

Moons

  • it has 2 medium moons
  • Zeta Pictoris IIIa: is 1,573 km (983 miles) in diameter, with a density of 3.3 and a gravity of 0.07 G's. It orbits the planets surface at a height of 27,419 km. (17,137 miles)
  • Zeta Pictoris IIIb: is 2,198 km (1,374 miles) in diameter, with a density of 3.7 and a gravity of 0.12 G's. It orbits the planets surface at a height of 30,256 km. (18,910 miles)

Colony

The only thing on the surface of this planet is a Romulan penal colony for political prisoners. Planetary conditions are harsh and the struggle to survive takes up most of the political prisoners time. Their are approximately 50,000 prisoners on the planet.

The colony is watched from orbit by a small Tal Shiar station which orbits the planet and has 2 small patrol craft and 6 shuttles assigned to it.
